The functionality is actually part of NetworkManager 0.6 upstream, so
they are not patches in the usual sense. The problem is that the
functionality was not carried forward upstream to 0.7.

Anyway, Sjoerd has apparently completed the work porting the mesh
functionality from 0.6 to 0.7. No more attention is needed in that area.

What we need now is for someone to port the sugar components to use the
new NetworkManager D-Bus API. NM 0.7 introduces a new D-Bus API and no
longer supports the old one, which is what we use in sugar.
